There's this really nifty new product called Instead. It's not a tampon, but more like, well... a plug. It's the same concept as a diaphragm (though not to be used for birth control). You put it in and you can leave it for up to twelve hours. Throw it in, take a shower and "clean up" and nobody'll be the wiser.

That's got nothing to do with whether a woman is in the mood during that week or so. I know if I were sitting there eating chocolate, feeling bloated, and taking Midol every four hours for cramps, and a guy started coming on to me, I'd tell him to screw off in no uncertain terms. You've got to be kidding. But if a woman wants to get her groove on and the timing's not perfect, there are definitely options.
